[OpenAI to Discontinue Sora AI Video Generation Service, Streamline Product Line] According to Jiemian News, OpenAI plans to discontinue its video generation service Sora, six months after the high-profile launch of the standalone application, in order to simplify its AI product line. The company introduced the Sora app at the end of September last year, promising users an easier way to create and share realistic AI-generated videos within a quasi-social network. The free app briefly topped the Apple App Store rankings but has since fallen in position. In addition to shutting down the standalone application, OpenAI will also discontinue the application programming interface (API) for Sora used by developers.
